Default Canna Coco

Evening all.
We have been using the coco fibre bricks from pets at home for a while now and have had good results.
We have recently found a local supplier of http://www.canna-uk.com/coco_natural in 50l bags for £9.

Having read that this has an additive in it, would this be suitable or not ?
Would it be dangerous to our Torts ?

Thanks.

It says Trichoderma in the link. Is this safe ?
Could i use the product pictured in the link as a substrate ?
Thanks.

the description says it is there naturally, so not added...
It is probably a kind of mould that is naturally occuring in soil so most likely fine, but I don't know for sure...
